Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Second Sister-in-Law Want to Compare With Me, Right?

“Whether you accept it or not, the outsiders have gossiped enough about them. Now, everyone knows that Young Master and Miss Lu are a couple. They have laughed enough at things that they wanted to laugh at. When you struggle like this, you are actually torturing yourself and destroying your relationship with Young Master!”

Old Lin’s face turned green. He closed his eyes, refused to continue his conversation with his butler.

The Lin family was a family with a clean reputation. He would never allow a dirty woman to join his family. He would rather disown Lin Mu’an than to let Lu Qianqian marry into the family. This was his bottom line. He would never give in.

But Lin Mu’an had made up his mind as such for the thing that would mean forever to him.

The next morning, they knocked at the door of Mama Lu’s room. They told her about their engagement.

Mama Lu nodded after hearing this. “Since you have already decided on it, the Lu family will announce the news immediately. I want to let you be able to be together openly.”

“Please, when you make the announcement, don’t disclose my identity. I just want to let the outsiders know that Qianqian is engaged and she has a man to protect her. That will be sufficient.”

Mama Lu could understand Lin Mu’an. In fact, she did not want to offend the Lin family further, nor to have any ties with them.

“Don’t worry. I will take care of the matter well.”

Lu Qianqian looked at the ring on her finger. Then, she looked into Lin Mu’an’s eyes. They were determined.

So, everything was set. They would not be separated again for the rest of their lives.

…

And lately, all the employees in Zhongteng knew that the company had hired a jewelry designer. And he was working in the secretarial department.

Sheng Xiao claimed that he wanted to take charge of the accessories that Mu Qiqi would be wearing to the charity dinner. In fact, he wanted to supervise the completion of Mu Qiqi’s and his wedding rings.

The designer was from Italy and he had met several times with Sheng Xiao. Sheng Xiao knew he was a very talented designer, so he hired him. He even sent a helicopter to pick him up. Then, he even prepared a personal space in the secretarial department for him to work on the project.

The designer was very much aware of Huang Yao’s fame. He heard that Huang Yao’s successor had changed. But he did not expect that Sheng Xiao would leave Huang Yao and establish his own company.

“I heard that Huang Yao is exploring the market in Europe and they are planning to collaborate with Tiffany & Co.. I previously thought that it’s your decision and wondered why your decision-making skills had changed so much. And then, you got me here.” Designer Colin told this to Sheng Xiao amidst working with the project.

Sheng Xiao sat on his desk and was looking at the blueprint. He stopped for a few seconds before he said, “Is there any problem with Tiffany & Co.?”

“Chief Sheng, you might not know, but the new CEO is the son of the old chairman with his mistress. He is just a gambler who knows nothing about jewelry. Now, he is just thinking of digging out all the money from Tiffany & Co.. It is not a wise decision to collaborate with Tiffany & Co. for the time being.”

Now that Sheng Kai was the crown prince of Huang Yao, he was the decision maker.

Didn’t Sheng Kai investigate the recent situation of Tiffany & Co. before the collaboration?

“So, when I heard about the collaboration between Huang Yao and Tiffany & Co., I was shocked.”

“It has been a long time since I care about the matters of Huang Yao. Now, I just need you to design the perfect wedding rings for me.” Although Sheng Xiao was saying this, he knew that with Sheng Kai doing things like this, it would not take long. The false appearance of Huang Yao prosperity would be exposed. But Sheng Kai was not an incapable man. Why was he in such a hurry to show Grandpa and the directors the results?

After much thinking, Sheng Xiao made a call to Third Brother.

Third Sheng Brother sneered after hearing this. “During the last meeting with the directors, I did mention about expanding the business in Europe. Maybe Sheng Kai chose to collaborate with Tiffany & Co. because he was wary of me. He did a great job on paper. I told him that the situation of Tiffany & Co. is very unstable now, but he insisted that there will be no problem. He even cited a lot of examples to refute me. Not everyone in the jewelry industry knows about jewelry.”

“You should tell Grandpa in advance regarding this. Otherwise, the consequences may become yours to take. And one more, this is your best chance to do a meritorious deed when he makes a mistake. You should prepare a backup plan in advance.”

“Eighth Brother, you believed in Second Brother before, didn’t you?”

“He is no longer the old Second Brother,” Sheng Xiao said frankly. He would not be confused by Sheng Kai’s actions.

“I will find a chance to tell Grandpa about this.”

“If you are the one who tells Grandpa this, you will become his opponent. Are you not planning to stay on good terms with him anymore?”

“Not anymore. Second Brother and his wife cause too much trouble when they have the chance.”

Sheng Xiao smirked when Sheng Bowen said this to him. However, when they were about to hang up the call, Sheng Bowen reminded Sheng Xiao. “The charity dinner is coming soon. Xiao Ran will attend the occasion as well. Please remind Sister-in-law to take care of her and don’t let Second Sister-in-law bully her.”

“You seem to not have confidence in your wife.”

“You know what kind of a person Gu Ziling is. She is proud and arrogant, but her actions were despicable. Who knows what she will do by then? What if when she feels that she could not handle Xiao Qi, she changes her target and bullies Xiao Ran?”

In fact, the Gu family was currently not in an optimistic state. Mama Gu had concealed the news about her husband’s illness. But it was not a long-term solution.

Gu Ziling went home to visit her father. But her father could not even recognize his daughter now. Judging from this, she knew her father was seriously ill.

“Ziling, you should make plans for yourself. When the news about your father’s condition is out, the Gu family will face a crisis.”

Gu Ziling felt that her life was very challenging. She did not mind too much when the Sheng family isolated her, because Sheng Kai treated her well. But he was infertile and so she could not conceive a child to strengthen her status in the Sheng family.

Now with Third Brother and his wife watching them, if the Gu family fell, she would be in a dangerous circumstance with Sheng Kai.

And because of Gu Ziling’s desire to hide her inferior complex, she became more and more arrogant.

Whether it was with Mu Qiqi or Hu Ran, she would not let herself lose when being compared.

…

The next morning, Mu Qiqi got ready for her lectures as usual. However, Sheng Xiao reminded her. “Don’t forget to come home early, there is a banquet in the evening.”

“I won’t.” Mu Qiqi patted on her chest and said, “You can just let Xu Che put the dress in the living room. I will try it out when I come back.”

“Will it be okay if I don’t go with you tonight?”

Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao’s neck and frowned. “Do you think I will be bullied or what?”

“I will only feel assured when my little one is with me. Hu Ran and Lu Qianqian will attend the banquet as well. You should not feel bored by then.”

Mu Qiqi laughed. “I am the wife of the CEO of Zhongteng now. What is it that will make you feel worried? Are you afraid of those petty people bullying me? Only she will be the unfortunate one by then. Second Sister-in-law wants to compare herself with me, right? I shall grant her the wish. Let’s see if the former Crown Princess of Huang Yao is better than the current one or not.”
